Multi-Matrix Models and Tri-Sasaki Einstein Spaces
Christopher P. Herzog, Igor R. Klebanov, Silviu S. Pufu +1
Localization methods reduce the path integrals in {\cal N} >= 2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons gauge theories on S^3 to multi-matrix integrals. A recent evaluation of such a two-matri…
Membranes with Topological Charge and AdS4/CFT3 Correspondence
Igor R. Klebanov, Silviu S. Pufu, Tiberiu Tesileanu
If the second Betti number b_2 of a Sasaki-Einstein manifold Y^7 does not vanish, then M-theory on AdS_4 x Y^7 possesses "topological" U(1)^{b_2} gauge symmetry. The corresponding…
Emergent Quantum Near-Criticality from Baryonic Black Branes
Christopher P. Herzog, Igor R. Klebanov, Silviu S. Pufu +1
We find new black 3-brane solutions describing the "conifold gauge theory" at nonzero temperature and baryonic chemical potential. Of particular interest is the low-temperature lim…
Superconductors from Superstrings
Steven S. Gubser, Christopher P. Herzog, Silviu S. Pufu +1
We establish that in a large class of strongly coupled 3+1 dimensional N=1 quiver conformal field theories with gravity duals, adding a chemical potential for the R-charge leads to…
